Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage devices, in particular to an apple partition storage device. Background Technique

[0002] A storage device, also known as a storage box, a containing device, etc., can facilitate the storage operation of apples due to its characteristic of having a large storage space. When performing the storage operation of apples, a partition storage device is needed to partition and store the apples, so as to store apples of different types or specifications, which is convenient for subsequent long-term storage of apples. In daily use, an apple partition storage device is needed to perform the classification storage operation of apples.

[0003] The existing storage device does not have the function of adjusting the installation height of the device according to the use requirements during use. The bottom of the storage device is directly in contact with the ground, which easily causes the device to be corroded by humid air, shortening the service life of the storage device. The existing solution is to equip electrical equipment such as threaded foot rods and electric rods to adjust the installation height position of the device. However, when using the device, it does not have the function of classified storage, resulting in the inability to classify and store apples with different maturities, and manual identification is needed, which increases the workload of the staff. At the same time, manual identification is prone to errors, reducing the efficiency of classifying and storing apples. At the same time, it does not have the function of recycling bad fruits, resulting in the inability to ferment and reuse deteriorated or damaged apples, causing a waste of additional available fertilizers and reducing the energy conservation and environmental protection effect of using the device. Therefore, an apple partition storage device needs to be designed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an apple partition storage device to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0021] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, an apple partition storage device proposed by the present utility model includes a box body 1, a classification storage mechanism 2 and a fermentation mechanism 4. A classification storage mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1. The classification storage mechanism 2 includes a fixed box 201. A servo motor 202 is fixedly installed on the front of the fixed box 201. A valve plate 203 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 202;

[0024] An industrial camera 205 is embedded and installed on the top of the fixed box 201 through a feed inlet 204. On both sides inside the box body 1, a collection chamber 3 and a fermentation mechanism 4 are respectively fixedly installed. Shock absorbers 301 are equidistantly installed at the bottom of the collection chamber 3. A bottom plate 302 is fixedly installed at the top of the shock absorbers 301. Two groups of electric rods 5 are fixedly installed on one side of the top inside the collection chamber 3. A brush plate 501 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric rods 5. The fermentation mechanism 4 includes a fermentation chamber 406. Heating pipes 401 are equidistantly installed on both sides of the fermentation chamber 406. A driven shaft rod 402 is rotatably installed inside the fermentation chamber 406;

[0025] A stirring paddle 403 is fixedly installed on the outside of the driven shaft rod 402. A constant speed motor 404 is fixedly installed on one side of the box body 1. A transmission belt 405 that is sleeved on the outside of the output end of the constant speed motor 404 and is connected to the top of the driven shaft rod 402 in a surrounding manner is installed. A controller 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the front of the box body 1. The controller 6 is electrically connected to the industrial camera 205 through a wire.

[0026] The working principle of the apple partition storage device based on Embodiment 1 is as follows: After the device is installed at the designated installation position, the industrial camera 205 is powered on to operate and take real-time pictures of the apples falling inside the feeding port 204, and the captured signals are sent to the controller 6 for calculation. The controller 6 compares the captured signals with the internal preset database, and when the compared color and surface damage data are greater than the preset value, it controls the servo motor 202 to be powered on to drive the valve plate 203 to rotate, driving the valve plate 203 to rotate to the top of a group of blanking pipes 206 to block the conveying path of the collection chamber 3;

[0027] So that the damaged apples that do not meet the storage standards are conveyed to the fermentation chamber 406 for storage through the other group of blanking pipes 206. When the compared color and surface damage data are less than the preset value, the controller 6 controls the servo motor 202 to be powered on to drive the valve plate 203 to rotate in the reverse direction. The valve plate 203 at the top of the other group of blanking pipes 206 can block the conveying path of the fermentation chamber 406, so that the apples that meet the storage standards are conveyed to the inside of the collection chamber 3 through the blanking pipes 206 for storage operations, realizing the function of classifying and storing apples, facilitating the classified storage of apples with different maturities, and improving the efficiency of classifying and storing apples;

[0028] The controller 6 controls the electric rod 5 to be powered on to drive the brush plate 501 to move horizontally to the designated position. Due to the soft hair of the brush plate 501, it is convenient to clean the outside of the apples, and at the same time, it also reduces the falling force of the apples. At the same time, due to the high elastic force of the shock absorber 301, it is convenient to absorb and relieve the falling force of the apples on the bottom plate 302, avoiding damage to the apples caused by excessive impact force;

[0029] The controller 6 controls the constant-speed motor 404 to be powered on and drives the driven shaft rod 402 to rotate through the transmission belt 405. The rotating driven shaft rod 402 can drive the stirring paddle 403 to crush the apples stored inside the fermentation chamber 406, playing a role in crushing and stirring the apples that do not meet the storage standards. Then, the controller 6 controls the heating pipe 401 to be powered on to generate high temperature and transfer it to the inside of the fermentation chamber 406, so that the apple chunks stored inside the fermentation chamber 406 carry out fermentation operations, realizing the function of recycling bad fruits and facilitating the secondary fermentation and utilization of deteriorated or damaged apples.
